you should get an autometer gauge because the stock gauges are very inaccurate.

Open up your guage cluster & tap the oil guage down a little bit...it's that accurate.
I wouldn't worry about it. Those guages are indicators, not accurate tools.

As for pulgs. NGK are good plugs. TR6's are V-grove type plugs, which means that the electrode had a V grove cut into it. TR6's are 1-2 ranges colder for mustangs. TR7's are one range colder than TR6's, etc. A colder plug means that it has more insulation & disipates heat better & is therefore more resistant to hotter combution chamber temps from a power adder or bad tune.

Denso's are a waist of money...so are platinums, split fires. Best bet is to go with a nice cheap autolite. NGK's are nice, but not neccissary.
